Learning your ABCs is no easy job for young kids but these alphabet games will turn it into a fun activity. They will help your little ones with letter sounds and recognition of letter shapes, and improve their self-confidence with reading and writing.
My list includes battery games, which you won’t see too often on my blog. Actually it’s the first time I recommend such games but I’ve included them only because I could see their benefits on my own kids. Thanks to them my son knows words like octopus, that don’t show up too often in regular conversations and also knows to match these words with images.
